My Daily Skin Care Routine

I shared with you a few days ago the products I use to keep my hands and nails healthy (here).  Today I'm going to share with you my daily routine for my face.

At the moment I use the following products:

Taaj Himalaya Micellar Water

Simple Revitalising Eye Roll-On - £4.99

Simple Soothing Eye Balm - £3.99

Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum - £29.00

Monu Moisture Rich Collagen Cream - £17.50

I love my Taaj Himalaya Micellar Water so much!  I struggle to find cleansers gentle enough for my stupidly sensitive skin so I tend to just remove any make up with gentle face wipes and then wash with water.  This product is great for removing make up and daily dirt build up.  It leaves my skin feeling soft, refreshed and moisturised before I've even put my face cream on.  The gentle scent is fresh and not over powering.  I never want to use another make up remover ever again but I've so far been unable to find where I can buy this (I received this bottle in one of my beauty boxes).  Any ideas??

I bought these two eye creams as I was suffering from tired puffy eyes.  I use the roll-on in the morning as its cool roller ball feels amazing and leaves my eyes feeling more awake.  The eye balm I like to use in the evening as it's more soothing.  Both products work really well and I definitely feel more refreshed when I use them.

The second Caudalie product I have tried and I love it!  I use this before my moisturiser.  It has a very thin texture and it spreads easily over the skin meaning you don't need to use a lot.  It contains hyaluronic acid which helps the skin lock in moisture and also helps give elasticity a boost.  It leaves my skin feeling incredibly healthy and fresh.  I love it and will almost certainly buy more of this.

I received this in one of my beauty boxes and hadn't heard of the brand before.  It contains marine collagen and essential oils to help smooth out any fine lines.  The texture is fairly thick and creamy, just what my dry skin likes.  It absorbs superbly into my skin and smells amazing, even my boyfriend commented on how nice my face smelled after I used this for the first time!  :)  I will definitely be buying more of this when it runs out.

So that's my daily routine.  What products do you use on your face?  Have you tried any of these?

Feel Unique Beauty Box January 2012

My first beauty box of the year and it's all about renewing and revitalising.

Carmine October '11 Reviews

I've noticed the growing popularity in these 'beauty boxes' and had been considering trying them out for the last month or so.  I picked out 4 different companies Boudoir Prive (£10 + p&p), GlossyBox (£10 + p&p), Carmine (£10 + p&p) and Feel Unique (£9.95).  A bit overkill? Maybe, but I wanted to try at least one box from each company to see how they compared.  Each one promises almost the same 5-6 deluxe samples with the odd full size product and of course exclusive discount codes for some of the products should you wish to re-purchase.

Although I subscribed to each at the beginning of November I actually received October boxes from two of the companies, Carmine and GlossyBox, which I wasn't expecting.

Below is what I received from Carmine.  I'll be sharing my GlossyBox later this week.

I received my first Carmine box around a week after I signed up.  How exciting!

Opening up the bright orange mailing box revealed the black box inside.  (Sorry about the pics, I had to take them in the evening with a flash.  Hopefully the next ones will be in daylight!  ^_^)
